Mr.. W. y. Horton has on exhibition
a sample of chry>talizcd cherries, pre-
pared under a patented process in Cal
ifornia, which converts the fruit into
an exceedingly attractive and palat
able article of commerce. The pro-
cess is represented as inexpensive and
the formula and right to use it can be
obtained on very reasonable terms
This seems to open way for the dis
posal Of our surplus cherry crop which
doubtless some OF our people will avail
themselves of as soon as the next yield
natures. The first product OF the
crystaliZing process was in such de-
mand in San Francisco, Mr.. Horton
informs us, that it sold as a CONNECTION
readily for one dollar per pound.
The City Council, at its meeting
"Wednesday evening, passed an Ordin-
ance reducing somewhat the salaries
Of the city officers, hut retaining the
full force. The Clerk is hereafter to
receive 800 per annum, the Marshal
$50 per month, the Treasurer $240
per annum, the Street Commits
sioner $50 per month, the Attorney $l2
per annum and fees, the Surveyor $40
per annum and fees, the Night Watch
man $50 per month and fees, and
the Engineer OF Olympia Engine, $50
per month. An ordinance to re-
store the annual charge for liquor
license to the former figures of 5000
for saloon and $500 for beer license
was defeated by q tie vote and the May
or voting in the negative.
a new process of banding wooden
watcr-pipe has been discovered in
California, which obviates the greatest
objection to the use of that substance
for permanent works. Instead of the
iron band to give strength laterally to
the wooden fibre, Il vencering of wood
is used, and it is so thoroughly united
to the pipe by compress with asphalt
tum that an equal strength is obtained
by few wrappings as is possessed by
the wood longitudinally. fthis claim
is verified by actual use, wood pipe will
possess no rival in chcapncss and dur
ability. Mr.. Horton, who has just re-
turned from California, proposes to
make test of the new method, and
will take steps to procure the neccs-
sary machinery for its manufacture on
II limited scale
Three cut-throat" bids were sub
mitted to Territorial Auditor Reed, last
Saturday for furnishing the assess
ment and census blanks. The propo-
sails call for 400 quires of assessment
rolls, printed on 5G-lb denny, ruled and
bound in SO books; 10000 detail lists,
ruled and printed on 16-lb ilat-cap,
and 5000 census blanks, ruled and
printed on 1G-lb fat-foolscap paper.
The bids stood as follows: Murphy
$3.50, Cavanaugh 1925 and Gale &
Durham 1914. The stipulation is
that Whiting paper shall be used for
all the blanks, and J. S. Dobbins, Fred
Guyot and W. Ii. Clark are sureties
for Gale & Durham that the work
shall be done according to contract.
Printers can very readily see that
very nearly the whole amount of the
lowest bid will be expended for paper,
ruling and binding, leaving the con-
tractors "wind soup" for desert in Il
small proportion of the printing

1t WAS proceeding by mandamus, to
compel those officers to pay REALTORS
the sum of $500, which they claimed
as lien on the judgment of Hutchin-
son VS.. the city. The writ was issued
and respondents appealed by their at
torney, John p. Judson, and de-
INJURED. Judge Hoyt overruled de-
murrer, and ordered the Mayor and
CLERK to issue warrant Tor payment
of the claim. An appeal was taken
from this order and the Supreme Court
decides that Judge Hoyt had no au-
thority to make such an order on the
facts appearing in the affidavit upon
which writ was issued The court
holds that REALTORS must first establish
their lien by proper proceedings before
they can call on the city to pay them
anything.
